More than a few shots have been taken at EA and Maxis’ efforts with SimCity, and Cities: Skylines is in development because Colossal took one look at SimCity and realised they could do a better job. Certainly, we can at least expect transport systems to actually work in Skylines, as the developer also created the Cities in Motion series, which simulates the transport infrastructure of modern cities.
